"I can offically call this product a "workhorse" after both myself and my mother wore this to my brother's funeral recently. We both used it purely on our upper lashes. It goes on thin, so a few coats are needed or it is good for a more natural look. All I can tell you is that this lasted through my brother's funeral and the rest of the day. So, a days worth of crying and I did not look as if I were a swampthing. I'd say that is something. "

    "This mascara has the perfect sized and shaped applicator wand which provides even coverage on all your lashes. It does not clump, and it comes in the basic colors. Many makeup artists will tell you to use mascara only for six to nine months, and then replace it. I've found that to be true with low quality products, however, after ten months of this mascara, it still looks and works just as well and the day I bought it. "

    "Clinique's waterproof mascara was definitely waterproof, but that's about the only good thing I can say about it. Performace-wise this is just a basically average mascara that adds a little length, a little thickness and a little color...nothing outstanding. I wouldn't use this again.

    "I have tried several mascaras over the years and have two problems with most of them: 1) my eyes are senstive and cheaper brands give me styes, and 2) many brands smudge on me. But, I always come back to Clinique Gentle Waterproof because I do not have those problems when I use it, plus it is not clumpy and lasts all day and throughout workouts without smudging. I love it!

    "I totally love Clinique because of their quality, but I have to say this mascara is not the best. I was a bit dissapointed when I got it. I wanted waterproof and well, did not work quite well. My lashes are straight, I mean STRAIGHT and have to curl them. I only use waterproof mascara since the other ones are too rich and will make my lashes go down again. I very light, and does not give me the fullness I need. This is my experience. If you have curl lashes and want something light.. it might be ok. "
